JDR: Re: "T minus 2 and ..." I hate it when you techies talk in code like that. What does that mean? Let's see if I can figure this out. "T" could mean ... Technology or Tool. For now, I'll assume tool. "Mins 2" could mean ... the "Alpha" version of the tool, as opposed to the "Beta" version, as opposed to the "General Availability" version. "and ..." could mean any one of several things. Maybe you ran out of breath before you finished typing? Or, the tool is destined for a dead end? Or, your supervisor walked in to your office at an inopportune time and you had to submit the post before you were done. You've made me very curious. Looks like some detective work is called for. By the way ... in reference to your other comment: "I do know what I am talking about since I am doing the talking!" I can remember a few conversations when I was absolutely positively sure you had no idea what you were talking about. It certainly wasn't the same thing I was talking about! But, we did have fun, didn't we? Best of luck, TED
